Body: Good day! Here is the last warning. Your system has been cracked. We have copied the entire information from your device to our servers. Besides, we have recorded the video from your camera with you watching a **** movie. My virus has infected your device via an **** that you recently visited. I can share details in case if you don't know how it works. A Trojan virus grants me entire access and control over your device. As a result, I can see your screen, activate the camera and the microphone and you won't even know about it. I have captured a video from your screen and the camera and have made a video where one part of a screen demonstrates you ****, and another part shows a **** video that you were watching at that time. I can see the entire list of your contacts in the phone and the social networks. I can send this video to all the contacts in your phone, the E-mail and the social networks in a single click. Moreover, I can send the data of your E-mail and your messengers to anybody. This would ruin your reputation once and for all. In case if you wish to prevent such consequences, do the following- Transfer 1300 USD (American dollars) to my Bitcoin- wallet. (If you do not know how to do this, write in a search string in Google: "Buy bitcoin"). My Bitcoin Wallet (BTC Wallet): [bitcoin address] Immediately after crediting of payment I shall erase your video and shall not bother you anymore. You have 50 hours (a little more than 2 days) to make the payment. I receive an automatic notification of reading of this letter. The timer will also automatically launch right after you read this E-mail. Don't try to complain anywhere- my BTC -wallet cannot be traced and an E-mail that sent you the letter is created automatically-any response would be senseless. Should you try to share this E-mail with somebody, the system will automatically send a request to the servers and they will start sending the entire information to social networks. The change of passwords of social networks, an E-mail and the device would be senseless either as the whole data has already been downloaded to cluster of my servers. I wish you luck and don't do something stupid. Consider your reputation.

Subject: Your personal data has leaked due to suspected harmful activities.
Body: Hi there! I am a professional hacker and have successfully managed to hack your operating system. Currently I have gained full access to your account. In addition, I was secretly monitoring all your activities and watching you for several months. The thing is your computer was infected with harmful spyware due to the fact that you had visited a website with **** content previously. ╰-⋃-╯ Let me explain to you what that entails. Thanks to Trojan viruses, I can gain complete access to your computer or any other device that you own. It means that I can see absolutely everything in your screen and switch on the camera as well as microphone at any point of time without your permission. In addition, I can also access and see your confidential information as well as your emails and chat messages. You may be wondering why your antivirus cannot detect my malicious software. Let me break it down for you: I am using harmful software that is driver-based, which refreshes its signatures on 4-hourly basis, hence your antivirus is unable to detect it presence. I have made a video compilation, which shows on the left side the scenes of you happily ****, while on the right side it demonstrates the video you were watching at that moment..ᵔ.ᵔ All I need is just to share this video to all email addresses and messenger contacts of people you are in communication with on your device or PC. Furthermore, I can also make public all your emails and chat history. I believe you would definitely want to avoid this from happening. Here is what you need to do - transfer the Bitcoin equivalent of 1290 USD to my Bitcoin account (that is rather a simple process, which you can check out online in case if you don't know how to do that). Below is my bitcoin account information (Bitcoin wallet): [bitcoin address] Once the required amount is transferred to my account, I will proceed with deleting all those videos and disappear from your life once and for all. Kindly ensure you complete the abovementioned transfer within 50 hours (2 days +). I will receive a notification right after you open this email, hence the countdown will start. Trust me, I am very careful, calculative and never make mistakes. If I discover that you shared this message with others, I will straight away proceed with making your private videos public. Good luck!
There are so many questions that probably should have been asked in the round-table meeting Epic had on this before they instituted this 'language policy' to govern use of Unreal Engine & respective tech.
Quote
When you work in the Unreal Engine codebase, we encourage you to strive to use respectful, inclusive, and professional language.
At Epic Games, we have a few simple coding standards and conventions. This document reflects the state of Epic Games' current coding standards. Following the coding standards is mandatory.
Code conventions are important to programmers for several reasons:
80% of the lifetime cost of a piece of software goes to maintenance.
Hardly any software is maintained for its whole life by the original author.
Code conventions improve the readability of software, allowing engineers to understand new code quickly and thoroughly.
If we decide to expose source code to mod community developers, we want it to be easily understood.
Many of these conventions are required for cross-compiler compatibility.
The coding standards below are C++-centric; however, the standard is expected to be followed no matter which language is used. A section may provide equivalent rules or exceptions for specific languages where it's applicable.
[Bold emphasis added]
There is no explicit waiver to the Coding Standards mandatory declaration where the 'inclusivity policies' are outlined, so developers are meant to consider them as being of equally weighty importance.
In a nutshell, who is making the judgement calls on language here? If Epic decides particular words are okay that are later determined to be 'bad', who is liable for the consequences of that decision?
Similarly, are developers who make the most blood lusty 18+ rated games, gibs galore, going to get dinged for inappropriate words found in their code, that no one will actually see, or UI no one pays much attention to, but not the bloody nature of their games?
There's a certain irony to the ESRB not being able to touch self-published, digital games over their content on First Amendment grounds, at least in the USA, but Epic asserts with the implementation of this Code of Conduct for coding it can simply because their platform is being used.
